Nose over when engine fires
Not every time but every now and again when my engine fires it noses over the aircraft and quite often is thrown across the airfield which I think is just p3d being bad with crashes and it's become quite irritating. My prop pitch is course as per the manual and my throttle is cracked so I don't see why this would happen.

This sounds familiar.... this only happens when you’ve flown and parked the Spitfire and then came back to fly it again where you left it and without a restart of the sim?

Not necessarily, today it did it on the first load up of the sim.

You are using P3Dv5? I know in v4 this happens if you jump in while hot w/o a reset of the sim. You have the brakes set and/or the wheels chocked?

I am in v5 but it also happened in v4 too I don't use chocks only the parking brake. The annoying bit is the inconsistency of it lol.

Re: Nose over when engine fires
You say the throttle is cracked. Is that your hardware throttle or the on screen throttle? I quite often get caught out by the mixture on screen is pulled back and I've not noticed it because I've felt for the hardware mixture lever and it's where I want it to be. i.e. fully forward. Then I wonder why the blinking engine wont start. Maybe the same syndrome?

Happened to me when did pushback with Shift+P.
Remedy for that is to use tail hold down with two solders during engine start.

Try without setting park brakes.
It's either a thrust thing or something screwy. No brakes will at least allow it to roll forward.

Re: Nose over when engine fires
check your prop, ill wager one of your controls is not set correctly. That's the only way I can get this to happen.
